In Ear Headphones For Studio Monitoring

There are headphones designed for audiophiles, for home / studio use, and there are headphones designed for monitoring. The DJH-2500 is ideal for monitoring. The Polsen DJH-2500 Headphones were designed to have the mid range more accentuated on purpose, giving you more ease of listening in what you are hearing / mixing / creating in a live wedding reception, noisy streets, music fests, or similar situations where there’s too much noise and loud music. I’m not a DJ, but my needs are identically similar. I’m a filmmaker / videographer including weddings ,corporate video and dance recitals. So, I use the Polsen DJH-2500 in my camera’s headphone jack. The DJH-2500 allows me to listen to critical audio without having to up the volume all the way because of the accented mid range and the way the ear cups help block sound. The ear cups are comfortable enough for a whole day of use at a venue. If you are the type of listener who likes “Mega Bass” or excessive bass, this is not the headphone for that and you’re going to pay a lot more for it . And for the uneducated listener, too much bass is not ideal either, as it overpowers the mid and high frequencies, especially when using it for monitoring. To my taste, however, I wish the DJH-2500 had a bit more highs though…I like more treble. Other than that, it’s a very useful and a nice pair of headphones. I also like the dual input feature which is nice. If needed, you can hear two input sources at the same time, one source on each ear. Again, for DJs, musicians and videographer, we use that feature.

I use it on every headphone I own: Auray Disposable Over-Ear Headphone Covers (50 Pairs, Black or white). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585973-REG [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].

Ive used the standard Sony studio monitoring headphones for video production purposes, and while they sound fine, they just dont last very long...ear cup material comes apart or just comes off. The Sennheiser HD 280s are buil to stand up to the riggors of location production applications while providing great isolated sound for monitoring purposes. My only compliant/wish would be for them to switch to a non-coiled headphone cable...gets stretched out if someone decides to wrap it around the earpieces or if it gets shoved into a bag.

I use this model for monitoring and mixing in my studio. These headphones are the best I have ever used and goes right along in the same category as the SM57 microphones. Best sound and amazing price for the performance!

These headphones are great for the price. Perfect for studio and live audio monitoring. We even use them for videography to monitor audio coming into the cameras.

Comparing this to AKG K240 Studio monitoring headphones it is not as good. But it's very close. This was the only headphone I could find with a removable cable at this price point. Sound quality is very good but not excellent. This may be that I haven't broken the headphones in yet, but the sound stage is stiff and the treble with percussion is a bit muddled without good separation like on the AKG. These headphones have more emphasis on the low-end than the AKG 240's though. Comfort-wise these headphones fit better than AKG from the get-go -- it took awhile for the AKG's to loosen and stop squeezing my glasses to my head. However, I wish the pads were slightly bigger or oval shaped to fit the ears more comfortably. The padding is very soft. Another reviewer noted that the Polsen's 32ohm drivers cannot be driven by an iPad, but this is not the case. I had no issues when testing with normal volumes on an iPad Mini 2. The AKG K240's are 55 ohms in comparison and are decidedly quieter. A good purchase for good quality monitoring.

I've never spent this much money on headphones before. I was setting up a new recording studio and I wanted monitoring headphones in my budget. These were almost unanimously recommended, and it makes total sense. They sound fantastic. I don't know enough to give more details, but that's all I can say. I edit voice over work, and this is beyond sufficient for what I'm doing. I even replaced the ear pads, which altered the sound slightly (because of the different foam insert size) and they still sound excellent. Would highly recommend.

I love these headphones! very good for sound monitoring!

I've had the Beats Studio wireless over-the-ear headphones for over a year and desired the same audio quality in a more portable form. These earbuds do not disappoint. If you're looking for noise-cancelling earbuds with the freedom of bluetooth then these are worth the purchase. The battery life relative to the recharging time is also very impressive.

I use the headphones primarily for tracking in my recording studio. Because the cover the ear and have a closed back, they block out the music in the room, and allow the player to hear the headphone mix clearly. They do not distort and have a fairly even frequency response. The only downside is the cost, usually $ a pair, B&H did $ with free shipping, so I bought 3 pair.

Great headphones. Good for monitoring. B &H delivered promptly.
